Simi Osula

Simi grew up in Lagos, Nigeria until the age of 12 before moving to Southampton with her parents and brother.

She studied Physiotherapy at Cardiff University, graduating in 2023 with an upper second class honours degree.

Simi has been working at JCP since graduating. She has also been working as a tennis coach since 2018 when she achieved her level 2 tennis coaching qualification.

In terms of Simi’s motivation to become a Physiotherapist, her grandparents were actually physiotherapists. Her granddad was the first ever first Nigerian professor of physiotherapy, after obtaining his degree in Canda and his masters in America. They were huge role models in her life. From a young age, Simi had the hand for manual techniques like her grandmother had shown her. She even charged her family £1 for her service when she was 10-16 years old. She was very sporty as a child, so had her fair share of physiotherapy sessions which helped her a lot. She wanted to become a part of Jonathan’s team to help others too.

Simi loves growing in knowledge and experience with the variety of clients that walk through our door. She feels that no client is the same, even when they present with the same condition. She expresses that, “It’s amazing to go through a client’s journey with them and see the improvements each week, and even though a client may not necessarily see it themselves, it is nice to remind them of where they started and how far they have come.” Simi also enjoys working independently, but also has a fantastic team supporting her that she can pluck skills from!
